I'm using Mcafee Enterprise. My employer site license allows (and encourages) use at home. It's pretty bloated, so I would switch if I were short on resources. But I mainly use linux, so resources when booted to Windows are not a big problem.
-and what about antirootkit,ad-banners blockers
I do login to Windows as a limited user (except when doing administrative things). I am relying on the reduced privileges of a limited user account for protection against the unlikely event of a root kit. I use flashblock and noscript extensions with firefox, and they protect against the most obnoxious ads. The static banner ads don't bother me - they are the price we pay for content.
